Baskets are cool!
March 8th, 2009 adminA long walk to the sand bar. We spend the day gathering willow to make baskets. We sit down in a circle, and start weaving. The willow is of all different colours; green, yellows, and reds. Some of us make beautiful baskets, some of us, not so beautiful. But looking around the circle, its not the baskets that are important. Its the conversations, the laughs, the frustrations, the concerns that we put into those baskets. Someone told me once that when you make a basket, its never really about the basket. its about the space that you make to place things of value. Looking around the circle, the empty space in the middle was holding all of us. one giant basket!
